When Shi Liuli pulled Luo Yan before Elder Shi Ding, excitedly finished recounting the events, Elder Shi Ding couldn't help but reveal a face full of question marks.
"You went to investigate a spy, and while doing so, you brought a direct disciple back to me?"
Long before Shi Liuli went to investigate him, Elder Shi Ding had also reviewed his examination footage and indeed, found no issues.
Or, to put it more precisely, how could a spy who should remain inconspicuous be foolish enough to score full marks on the entry exam?
Besides, if his comprehension was truly as exceptional as Liuli claimed, then coming here as a spy would really be a waste of talent.
Wouldn't it be more desirable for the sect to nurture such talent carefully from within? Whether it's alchemy techniques, the essence of treasure casting, or the "oceanic" amount of calculations required for formations, all demand exceptionally high comprehension to master.
